[0002] With the continuous advancement of robotics technology, its application in various fields is becoming increasingly extensive, greatly enriching and facilitating people's lives and production. Faced with diverse needs, the functions and types of robots are also becoming more diversified. In order to achieve these functions, the robot's own freedom of movement becomes particularly critical.

[0003] Taking the robot's waist as an example, it usually has multiple movement capabilities such as rotation, pitch and tilt. The realization of these movements often relies on the coordinated work of multiple actuators, which not only complicates the structural design, but also increases the probability of failure. At the same time, it also brings certain challenges in installation and maintenance.

[0004] In the existing technology, the flexibility of robots in operating at different heights is slightly insufficient. For example, this limitation is particularly obvious when the robot needs to pitch in environments at different heights, and there is a lot of room for improvement. Summary of the Invention
